Another contributor takes a stab at the Nate Robinson issue. This time, the focus is on Nate Robinson, more than his agent’s actions. After spending the previous fourteen games exiled to the bench by Coach Mike D’Antoni, having his agent publicly request a trade, and being fined $25,000 by the NBA for that request, Nate […]

On December 28th, New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson was fined $25,000 for publicly demanding a trade. NBA policy does not allow players to make trade demands through the media.

There are some phrases an NBA organization never wants to hear, and “It’s time to clean house” is one of the worst. Unfortunately, the Chicago Bulls are dangerously approaching this breaking point. After an incredible postseason fight in last year’s playoffs against the Boston Celtics, many saw the Bulls as a young group ready to […]
A quick read through the NFLPA’s Active Player Agent List, and no “Gregory Williams” or variation of that name is found. But there is good reason for that. However, on his company’s website, VSM Sports, Williams lists a few active clients including Bertrand Berry, Ahmad Brooks, Terrence Holt, Torry Holt, and Gerard Ross. The NFLPA […]
